### Cacti Open Beta
Cacti 1.2 Beta is here and been in development for little more than a year!
We have been focused on enhancing Cacti and fixing a lot of issues all
over the last year. While we did not get all the enhancements we wanted
into 1.2, only somewhere around 150+ enhancements and fixes, we believe
it is time to release it into the wild.
As always we want to thank the people that use Cacti, participate on the
Forums, submit issues and pull requests! We encourage people to get
involved and help make Cacti better! This beta would not be possible
without the efforts of the community members who have activity helped in
testing, reporting issues and submitting fixes!
Thank You!
If you are interested in participating in the 1.2 Beta please visit the
Community Forums Beta Section [1] for more information.

- User interface enhancement, not limited to but including, updated
dialog boxes and form controls.

update occur.

### Translations
We need some help with translations! If you willing and able to help
please consider helping out. Check out the contributing to translations
section [2].
### Documentation
Going forward there are considerable efforts being made to make sure we
have an easy and effective way to create, managed and distribute
documentation. In the 1.2 Beta you may notice that documentation has now
been included and is accessible directly from the user interface making
it more visible than it has ever previously been. If you are interested
in helping make the documentation excellent then please do not hesitate
to get involved and contribute on the Cacti Documentation repository [3].
